[The heartless have been getting to quite a few people lately. It's hard to tell at first whether Ami is one of them. She's inside, seated at a small table and playing chess against herself. Masters of the game would note the arrangement of the board as a very famous end game maneuver. She's testing it again, noting its weaknesses and the ways to defend against it.

It's keeping her mind off the shadows, and the things that always seem to not-quite-be-there when she looks. It's keeping her mind off the doubts, the worries, the insecurities. But there's very little of her usual gentle smile despite the seeming calm. She has a perhaps not-so-incongruous question.]

What are the things you do to relax and unwind your mind?

I do have a favourite. Mitarashi Dango. They are really nice, though I haven't seen any on the worlds yet.

If I see any, I'll be sure to let you know right away and buy some for you if you'd like.

Would you really?

Certainly. I'd like to be able to help you out.

...Thank you.

You're welcome. It's all I could do.

I'll make sure to be of help in return. So, if you ever need help let me know okay?

[There's a flash of surprise that doesn't come through over the text function at all, and a very slightly delayed answer.]

Thank you for that. I will.

That reminds,. I still need to technically thank you for lending me those books before.

Not at all. Books are special; they should be shared.

Though I wouldn't have known if you hadn't of told me.

Let's call it even. You've helped me, too.

Huh, have I?

Definitely.

[All she's ever asked the most is simply being there.]

I don't remember, but it's good that I've helped.

Please believe it.

I trust your judgement, so I do.
